Well after three years of abuse I swapped my plugs this evening...

Even with lots of mods it was still a pain to get access.

Old plugs are a nice even brown colour ( Octane Booster ) and the gaps are a bit on the large side, test drive in the morning after an oil change...

Were you having problems with them or did you change for peace of mind? Three years isn't bad to be fair.

I'm running way too much boost ( >2 bar ) and it's sounding a bit flat and farty, and the new plugs were sat there looking sad...

LoL

P.S. Alan Jeffrey is going to rebuild it soon, or next month, or the one after

Lol, I presume it was starting to misfire. Still it's not done bad to say it's on the original engine.

Yes it's had a hard life, just hoping it hangs on till Enginetuner do their 2.1 magic act !

The engine was diagnosed as "sick" three years ago ( poor leakage figures ), this was mostly seen as a problem with late spool-up of the various turbos I've had fitted.

Now running 2 bar of boost with a degree of mechanical sympathy is quite fun, once it does spool !

P.S. Looking forward to loads of low end torque from the 2.1 ! Having been in Bigarf's 650 bhp version...
